Device Main Window
Each device on the MegaVision map has a main window that displays the front panel of that
device. From this panel you can quickly monitor the device’s operations in real time. LEDs on
the port image buttons indicate activity, collisions, and flow control for each port on the
device. In addition to monitoring information, the Device main window provides you with
access to sets of
Control Windows
that contain additional configuration and performance
information. These sub-windows also allow you to control and change parameters of the
device.
In this manual the front panel of the Optical Access OptiSwitch 800R is used as an example.
If you have other supported devices installed on your network, the front panel display will
vary.
